Aaron Lines - The American Way




            ***** CAPO 2nd fret*****



Intro - A-D - A - D - E - A





(verse 1)
A      E         D         A
I grew up under normal conditions,
             E      D             E
Mom was the radio, Dad was the television,
A               E         D              E
 They both were doin the best that they could,
       A          E          D          A
Workin 50 hour a weeks and knockin on wood,



(Break - A-D - A - D - E - A)




(verse 2)
A          E            D             A
I did my time in the public school system,
            E            D           E
I got good grades, and never got a shred of wisdom,
A                 E              D           E
 Can't blame my teachers, for anything they did,
     A                 E        D   A
You can't teach one on one with 33 kids,



(chorus)
          A      E        D     A
And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,
              E              D       A
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
          A      E                D     A
And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin  ok,
           E           D     A
Livin and Dyin the American way,




(verse 3)
well I found the one, we put some rooms down,
Got a second mortgage on the outskirts of town,
Now we BBQ every Fourth of July,
Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky,


(chorus)
          A      E        D     A
And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,
              E              D       A
I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
          A      E                D     A
And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin  ok,
           E           D     A

 Gonna turn this house into a home,
A                               E
In no time at all they'll be singin along,
